Fractionation of hydrogen isotopes in lipid biosynthesis
Isotopic compositions of carbon-bound hydrogen in individual compounds from eight dierent organisms were measured using isotope-ratio-monitoring gas chromatography±mass spectrometry. This technique is capable of measuring D/H ratios at natural abundance in individual lipids yielding as little as 20 nmol of H2, and is applicable to a wide range of compounds including hydrocarbons, sterols, and ...
متن کاملHydrogen Isotope Ratios of Individual Organic Compounds
Isotopic compositions of carbon-bound hydrogen in individual compounds from eight different organisms were measured using isotope-ratio-monitoring gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. This technique is capable of measuring D/H ratios at natural abundance in individual lipids yielding as little as 20 nmol of H2, and is applicable to a wide range of compounds including hydrocarbons, sterols, and...
متن کاملBiosynthetic controls on the 13C contents of organic components in the photoautotrophic bacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus.
To assess the effects related to known and proposed biosynthetic pathways on the (13)C content of lipids and storage products of the photoautotrophic bacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus, the isotopic compositions of bulk cell material, alkyl and isoprenoid lipids, and storage products such as glycogen and polyhydroxyalkanoic acids have been investigated. The bulk cell material was 13 per thousan...
متن کاملCarbon and Oxygen Isotopic Systematics in Calcite and Dolomite from the Sangan Iron Skarn Deposit, Northeastern Iran
A total of 40 samples from carbonates and 8 samples from silicate rocks were analyzed from the Sangan iron skarn deposit to examine behavior of the oxygen and carbon isotopes. The higher values of ?18O are from metamorphic calcite and dolomite and lower ones are from granitic rocks. Although the ?18O and ?13C values of calcite and dolomite in marble yield the highest values in the Sangan deposi...
متن کاملBiomarker analysis of microbial diversity in sediments of a saline groundwater seep of Salt Basin, Nebraska
Lipids extracted from sediments in a saline seep in the Salt Basin of Lancaster County, Nebraska included alkanes, alkenes, alkanols, phytol, C27–30 sterols, C30–32 hopanoids, tetrahymanol, glycolipid and phospholipid fatty acids, and lipopolysaccharide hydroxyl fatty acids. Biomarker profiles suggest that the brine seeps of Salt Basin support a microbial ecosystem adapted to a relatively highl...
